 - 
 - <p>You can always enter numbers in octal, decimal, or hexadecimal in
 - <small>GDB</small> by the usual conventions: octal numbers begin with
 - ‘<samp>0</samp>’, decimal numbers end with ‘<samp>.</samp>’, and hexadecimal numbers
 - begin with ‘<samp>0x</samp>’.  Numbers that neither begin with ‘<samp>0</samp>’ or
 - ‘<samp>0x</samp>’, nor end with a ‘<samp>.</samp>’ are, by default, entered in base
 - 10; likewise, the default display for numbers—when no particular
 - format is specified—is base 10.  You can change the default base for
 - both input and output with the commands described below.
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dd><a name="index-set-input_002dradix"></a>
 - </dd>
 - <dt><code>set input-radix <var>base</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Set the default base for numeric input.  Supported choices
 - for <var>base</var> are decimal 8, 10, or 16.  The base must itself be
 - specified either unambiguously or using the current input radix; for
 - example, any of

 - <pre class="smallexample">set input-radix 012
 - set input-radix 10.
 - set input-radix 0xa
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>sets the input base to decimal.  On the other hand, ‘<samp>set input-radix 10</samp>’
 - leaves the input radix unchanged, no matter what it was, since
 - ‘<samp>10</samp>’, being without any leading or trailing signs of its base, is
 - interpreted in the current radix.  Thus, if the current radix is 16,
 - ‘<samp>10</samp>’ is interpreted in hex, i.e. as 16 decimal, which doesn’t
 - change the radix.

 - <dd><p>Set the default base for numeric display.  Supported choices

 - <dt><code>show radix</code></dt>
 - <dd><a name="index-set-radix"></a>
 - <a name="index-show-radix"></a>
 - <p>These commands set and show the default base for both input and output
 - of numbers.  <code>set radix</code> sets the radix of input and output to
 - the same base; without an argument, it resets the radix back to its
 - default value of 10.
